nathan why
sigh
maggot
but icono came out in jan 2017 right? so she is 18, checkmate

480p30
what
incredible
math does not check out
ur a fukin creep
now black however
hmm
isnt the age of consent in the us 21
โค
or is that the drinking age
no that's drink
drink
drinking
damn 56 you still got 6 years to go
i exist
he's become self aware
we're gonna have to terminate him
there goes our 15 yr old child prodigy pensive
what do you guys think? tmi?
wtf is tmi
revert to modded assembly?
too much info
that sounds weird
reverting seems like it's something regressive
so even if it's correct I wouldn't use it
^
yup
"Enable installed mods"

hmmm
anyone want to beta test/debug for me?
what is this testing for
installer
sorry i only manually install my mods 
sketchy af tbh
i can't believe that this is not commonly downloaded and may be dangerous
u shouldn't click it if you got any sense
nuts
do i select the exe for the file path
he never detecc
just the folder with the exe
and I removed the antipiracy, so don't worry
same
I won't hack your pc and send your info to the FBI
it does not want to select it papa
it's not named "Hollow Knight", is it?
it's hollow knight 1432
I figured
since the actual hollow knight is 1221
I'll just remove the check
ok
try zis
insane manager
instantly tells me all my mods are outdated and updates them
which they are
but it asks before it does so
yes
what am i supposed to test
nuts
u saw nothing
it says the same thing
oh right, close and re open it
but it closed itself
but did you add the dll before reopnening it?
i believe so
can you check for me if there's a .vanilla file in your managed folder?
it appears to not exist
ok, when you try to launch the installer, does it update the API?
yes
where is the pinned message with the google drive link
in pins
is it by @copper nacelle
indeed
ok epic ty
third time is the charm
should i have a vanilla hk before running it
the third windows defender popup 
otherwise it works just fine, but you won't be able to revert to and from vanilla
he's done it
I pondered on the wording
hmm....
because you're not uninstalling things
people suggested against that
"revert to modded assembly" is weird
reverting back to no mods makes sense
but "reverting" back to mods installed doesn't really
"install unmodded mod"

now it says "Enable/Disable All Installed Mods"
since it's just changing the assemblies around, that's basically what happens
all installed mods are still installed, you simply can't use them
should be fine
I'm still taking suggestions tho, if you've got any
I mean, if you want to change the button text based on what state you're in
btw ty pete for being my guinea pig
np
if api installed: "revert back to vanilla game"
how do i get the modding api
;api
um how do I get my windows not to freak out and not let me run it
tell it to run it
ok
more info run anyways
sounds fine
can i not pin installer to quick access because it's an exe
you can
in explorer?
mine is pinned
or the taskbar
explorer
put it in a folder and put the folder in quick access?
wait so the thing is asking for a path do I send it to the hollow knight folder
or
a mod folder
yeah that's what i did
in the manager folder
the folder that holds the game
win10 lmao
mine's pinned, ptk
ok the folder that holds the app that is the game ok
@solemn rivet
Kuro Typos
Beat me to it
any mods suggestions?
rando 2
anyone else care to try/debug the installer for me?
how dare you insult our lord and savior microsoft excel
is lightbringer any good
ur right i can use excel to approximate pi
it is
so after I install the mod do I just launch the game
ok
they are just projectile spam
any mods I should avoid
bonfire
you sub to thetimesink then run eroico and iconoclasts instead of playing hk
or the mod summaries
those are in the drive right
is that where the summaries are
^
can you not use non api mods
so can I not use the ones under Non-API Mods (non-functional on current version)
you can if you downpatch
fast text is part of QoL
no. you buy me dinner and do a funny dance
what happened
I don't remember how to set up virtual controller
my internet died apparently
use pete's setup
some days pete setup is insane
others it is not
today i got all my dodgerolls within 3 attempts

is this 56
whats the difference between charming and charm overhaul
oh
ok so for vjoy you want the 2.17 version
ymmv but the 2.18 one just wont work for me
Hmm I dunno

Is this even randomized?
56 stopped streaming a lot earlier than I expected
It's the randomizer popup so I'd say yes
does the mod manager have to stay open for mods to work
No
no
no
no
it's a copy/paste tool
so close it go to steam and run the game after I download all the stuff I want right
and buy me dinner
and the path goes to the file that holds the game
and do a funny dance
ok
When I try to run it nothing happens
why does it say you already know what to press anyway
why not just show the normal dialogue
Effort
did you install the 32 bit version
Yes
yeah that'll happen
It was the default
don't do that
how is it more effort to show the normal dialogue
32 bit programs are supposed to work on 64 bit
because he remade it into non-fsm
well it doesn't
plus the regular splash screen isn't as funny
yeah thats also a thing
how fix
open as admin

I'm retarded

where that from
ax server
ax's server
this trbh
highly recommend
.done



they can't top 

sigh
installer updated boisss
kuro make a reddit account and tell him how wrong he is
no
I haven't even tried noclaw
Hmmmmm today I will attempt a True Ending randomizer run
Oh god oh fuck my free time
if you wanna get true ending just do all bosses
what's the probability of rando2 generating a vanilla run?
low
Very low 
always?
wait, compass is always at elegy
even with hardmode off?
yes. compass gets put at elegy always
wow
it's to prevent dead bingo goals
c
mpass
eg lifeblood heart at elegy
lifeblood heart + joni's is a bingo goal
basically can't get that goal
just get all the grubs whats the issue
so aside from that probably not low enough that you couldn't reimplement the algorithm and bruteforce nearly vanilla seeds (a nearly vanilla seed IMO would be elegy where the compass is and everything else in the proper spot)
imo nearly vanilla would be better as grubsong at compass and elegy at grubsong
then you couldn't buy your way past vs
what
well first off i dont see why thats a bad thing
because vanilla seed
but even then iselda can have multiple items so putting grubsong at compass wouldnt do anything
chance of vanilla see is 1/(n!)
where n is number of randomized items
and even that probably isn't true, since shops can have random number of things
same chance as any other seed
crude approximation
but meh
since there's some dead seeds in there that can't happen
like all progression items locked behind progression
so it's not truly 1/n!
but whatever
What are some fun mods to pair with rando2?
chaos mod
that make the game still beatable I mean
fuck
Lol
rng mod
Ok
same tbh
lol
hey someone who knows customsprite
do i only have to edit 5 pngs to use it?
i dont have to edit every single one of the knights frames?
you have to edit every single frame in the sprite sheet
5s
cuz i threw a filter over the whole thing
which did you use?
Xara
it's just something that came with vegas pro when I bought the humble bundle pack
30 day trial pog
1 chest away from vanilla
Wtf
Wait do you mean in terms of location
Or like everything has been vanilla besides one chest
which do people generally think is better
Charming or CharmOverhaul?
i wanna use one with my rando2 run
ok
@solemn rivet one other possible issue
idk if it's just my computer but unpinning the old modinstaller leaves an empty space on my taskbar
that doesn't go away even if i move stuff around
and can be moved
probably on my end though
i have no control over that, m8
ah ok just me then sorry for the ping
is there any way i could read all the charm changes in charmoverhaul?
thank you!
wow this looks amazing
surprised no nerf to strength / no buff to dshield tho
I should buff DShield
thatd be super cool
I keep forgetting tbh
this makes me want to try making my own charm combo mod, i feel like im going to have so much fun playing this plus rando 2
I've been meaning to lower the charm cost
thanks so much for making such a cool mod abyssal
I had a lot of help
i think making a dshield combo that causes it to not break temporarily upon hitting an emnemy would be really cool
*enemy
we love you AA2.0

that emoji makes me think gradow's getting fucked in his sleep
god I wish that was me

I should go to sleep aswell
good night nathan ๐

why does this emote exist 
Hello, does anyone know how I can add my own image to the game? Like the lightbringer mod
I think this belongs in #archived-modding-help?

by serialzing it as a texture2d
with the unity image conversion module dll
lemme git u some code
Yes please
it's literally like, 3 lines
eww it says firey instead of fiery in the description
how tf did I not notice
lmao
it may or may not be an issue on gitlab too
How do I serialize the image as a texture 2d with the unity image conversion thingy?
the easiest way to put images in-game is have them as embedded resources in your assembly
you then load them as byte[] and then convert to Texture2Ds using Unity's ImageConversion module
when in doubt

Steal 56's source code

That would be very helpful
so like
the paths are listed there
and then I have actual assets where those paths are
Mhm...
you can in I think VS add assets to projects graphically
and then just edit the csproj to change them to EmbeddedResource instead of just Content
and then they will literally be inside your DLL
which will make your DLL real big
but it's ok
you can also load images through WWW
So like this?
Yeah
wait sorry lemme get you the get bytes function
you can just copy paste this entire function
and then when you're done
I get this error 
wtf is .net 5.0
is this a thing
now
yeah
is 5.0 even a thing @copper nacelle
anyway I actually have to sleep soon so I'll leave you with this once you figure that other thing out:
foreach (string res in Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceNames())
iterates over all embedded resources in your assembly returning a string that lets you access that image. so just pass that string to that load image function and then you will get a texture2d out of it
I can't reload back into my thingy now 
Just swap it to 4.5
or that
5 might be Core 1
so yeah basically
foreach (string res in Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceNames()) {
if (res.EndsWith(".png"))
tex = loadImageFromAssembly(res);
}```
or whatever you wanna do
Oh lawd
I have no idea what your build environment/toolchain is but if it's normal windows it shouldn't be possible for microsoft to fuck up this badly on their own OS on their own development language
lmao
anyway hopefully 56 can help you fix it
Alrighty
Wtf
Okay, I just made a new proj starting at the 3.5 framework and it works now
Strange
@cunning lagoon
I installed DoH and Rando 2 and everything loaded properly
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
sigh
same
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
they got reset
AA do you still have stats on installer downloads?
sounds like the BEST band name tbh
small addition/change to installer
now it checks the patch version before installing
I'm pretty new to modding in hollow knight. Why does windows not launch the program? What should i do?
show
Click more info, then the option to allow appears, iirc
Nope.
Oh..
could running it as an administrator work?
@alpine imp
what did you do? For future reference
Yeah please do tell it. "nvm fixed it :)" is the nightmare of anyone looking for help
turned off the anti-virus
np
yeah
yup
I'm gonna fix the code real quick, but that should work
np!
@plain stag would you mind deleting that .vanilla file and trying again? I think I've fixed it
wait shit
don't
k, fixed it

should i delete it?
@rain cedar you posted that load standardizer mod right?
is it on the drive? or did you only post it here
Anyone have tips for empress muzznik on light bringer?
Trying to do light bringer no upgrades/ least upgrades run
Avoiding her won't help much
I'm avoiding upgrades, including charms and nailsmith
so why fight her anyways
Because I'm going for all bosses!
k.well then good luck
Luck is certainly a part of it, but tips on muzznik help too
Hi, does anyone know how to change the Splash Screen of when you boot up the game?
Like in the lightbringer mod, it changes the Hollow Knight logo to Lightbringer
#archived-modding-help doesn't exist
I'd decompile lightbringer and see how it does it
if only there was source code
@young walrus I understand what you mean. If Iโve spent like hours on a boss and feel like Iโm making 0 progress, Iโll concede and get upgrades.
hm

where is the api version located in the assembly?
search by string
If the constants namespace doesn't exist you can just say it's too old tbh
If you want to eventually support old patches you could check if PlayerData exists if Constants doesn't
And then instantiate a new PlayerData and run the setup
that always sets game version
cause I want to make this as complicated as possible
x
if this is HK installer, I should try and make spaghetti code
โ
as an homage to TC
You don't need the shasum
I know

but
spaghetti > common sense
my git push finger is itching

I'll still keep the sha1 check tho
why
comparing strings is cheaper than reflecting
hmmm


no


u
pensivebread looks better

.-.
56
(เนโนฯโนเน )
how get field value via reflection
.GetField("GAME_VERSION")
.GetValue(ass.GetTypes().Select(type => type.Name.Contains("Constant")))```this work?
can versions be made public variables?
upstream I mean
instead of reflection for em?
public const string GAME_VERSION = "1.4.3.2"; no statics
const is auto static

If you call GetType on a type you'll just get Type
It gave you red squiggles because you were using Select

15 yr old child prodigy owns gradow with facts and logic
First fixed it
remove GetType
done
Pog
56 acq me an icono stream
watch nekopara 3
is this a repost
on a scale from 56 to me, how ugly is this:
well i was asleep so iof you already saw this now you see it again
sadly he died long ago

they have not verified my pb yet
||
i have angerรง
no
too many
AnActualCoop is kind of a known troll, in my local scene he's always making trouble. He kept trying to put himself on our local PR as #1 (for smash), but he was using some hacked version of brawl it was total bullshit.

time to learn city escape 
i asked sean to remind me to rewatch the tutorial and he ddnt do it
good thing i dont forget things
sean is gone 

fountain vessel fragment
see 56 you might not have seen it
but in the same run i asked sean to do this i took multiple unnecessary trips to some floors in the tower
and forgot a key
e
incredible
maybe lost half a minute just to forgetting things
ah yes good to see that 56 is still half dead
your fault for using light mode
light mode 
light mode more like legit mode ๐
i now know how to escape city one decently
describe room
two consecutive dodges to get past 3 bombs going down up and left from left to right
white soldier at the end
it is not

gunboost to clear both the boxes and the purple guy in one jump
clear the next 3 bombs with regular shots
jump and parry the rocket thing to keep momentum
carry the speed throughout the entire room
gunboost at the end into the last room
you dont even need to do roll through the second mine in the first room
seanpr lies
im optimizing this shit
yeah i know
i roll anyways
i think it's faster since you accelerate immediately but idk
nah
you can't gunboost that's for sure
r
ll
1 sec

yeah no

what you wanna do in that room is shoot the first mine, jump over the second one and then downwards gunboost
to clear the boxes
so you keep your boost all the way through
yeah
ok
i remember being able to jump over the second bomb but it's tight or inconsistent
maybe it's consistent with gunboost speed
i never really tried without it
you have to jump early
i have recorded a small demonstration
not sure if its actually rng
is your gun back in time for the 3 bombs
if you gunboost earlier probably
ok
i'll keep trying
yeah i think the jump is consistent
you just have to jump early
i don't know
if you can keep speed through the entire next room it's probably faster
i dodge next to the first bomb though
with the robot
maybe you can clear it with a gunboost up
oh you absolutely can

nuts
insane
so you can probably stay grounded and shoot the second one
then just jump through the boxes
yeah ok this is good
do you jump on the box before the purple guy and jump over
yeah
the greatest city escape alive 
seanpr outdated 
munchakoopas overrated 
ok so those 2 rooms are good
you do lose your boost rolling through the shield soldier
but you have to lose it on the next room anyway
so instead of 2 rolls you can do a gunboost over the first mine and a roll through the second one
i think 2 rolls might be better for safety and to have your gun cooldown ready for a sideways boost
so next room would be basically the same
i suck at remembering what to do
kinda same tbh
tfw clear box too well and get hit by second bomb in the first room
ye you gotta be careful with that
unless you can clear it even better and just go through it
but i just try to land on the box
doing that probably means a later gunboost which isn't good
yeah
i suck at the second room
it's either jump too high and run into the second bomb as it goes up
or jump too low and get hit by first
the one with the robot
yes
yeah you cant do a small jum,p or you get hit by the first one
but too big of a jump and you bump into th seconmd one
can relate
he's done it
it doesnt look like you can make it through the second room with a downwards gunboost sadly
it'd make it much easier
that second mine is a bitch oof
impossible strat
same
sketchier than no gunboost dark cave jumps

city escape IL when
i cant hit that fucking second mine
impossible
i might go for the gunboost into the boxes in runs for safety
can you jump between the purple guy and the first mine 
or downleft shot to aggro the mine early 
thats what i was thinking but i think all thats gonna do is make me crouch accidentally
pepehands
it might work ill give it a shot
real icono fails are crouching 6 times when trying to interact with something
oh i feel that
any crouching 10 times in a row in front of black 2 despite the arrow being there every time
ye thats what i kmean
o
kmean
so do the frame perfect shit gunboosts have a name?
fpsgb
wow nice one of the soliders can just decide to be on your way so you fall on his head and bounce
why would adding this cause the transition FINISHED to happen after the animation ends?
_control.InsertMethod("Dig 2", 0, () => _anim.Play("DigIn 2"));
if I don't add that the state does not transition
getting hit by the second mine isn't terrible
gunboost again not that much of a loss
What else is in the state?
FINISHED occurs when all the actions in the state have finished
So if there's only that
it'll be when that finishes
If there's nothing
it'll never do anything
I'm adding this
_control.InsertAction("Dig 2", new Wait
{
time =5f,
finishEvent = FsmEvent.FindEvent("FINISHED"),
realTime = false
},0);

nothing that affects transitions
collider, audio, emitter, velocity and setkinematic
your finish event sucks
stop using it
There's a static member which actually works

FOLLOW ME SET ME FREE TRUST ME AND WE SHALL ESCAPE FROM THE CITY
not parrying rocket 
not sure if the robot at 0:32 woulda hit me so i rolled
but if he doesn't then that's a roll you can avoid
Why escape city when you can
Great song, great looping point, great everything! Sonic R music that has been extended to play for at least 15.5 minutes. Composer(s): Richard Jacques Arran...
oh also i made the jump at 0:30 way harder than it should be
you can probably gunboost earlier to not make not bumping into the boxes as tight
@copper nacelle
You want me to use FsmEvent.EventList[idk the index tbh]?
the purple guy at :32 probably wouldn't have hit
sigh

What is that run and gun game kurosh???
iconoclasts 
iconoclasts
graig run it
very good game highly recommend playing it
also i got a way better and easier escape
I am going to play that it looks really good


why do I need to add a transition
do we have yet another runner
Oh u guys running it? OK I'll join
yeah boi

iconoclasts is a great game
AddTransition...sigh
Give me a week to git gud first lol
its worse than hk
i might also run it when im done with challenge
runs after challenge 
atleast hk you can't airswim to the final boss

you actually have to play hk
shit arbitrary category
ok 56 I now realize why you called me a fool

is this worth posting in #399820167191724033
probably
you'll never take any of seans wr anyway
no one cares probably
